Coma

Chapter 3

I was woken by the loud irritating sound of the beeping on the machine that was keeping Niall alive.

My head was pounding as soon as I was up on my two feet, feeling woozy, little black dots taking over my eyesight but quickly faded gaining my sight and balance back again. I huffed in annoyance wondering yet again why we were in this difficult situation on the matter of life or death.

I've always wanted to know what happened at death. Does your life flash in front of your eyes? I guess we can never live to tell the story. It's sad how we can love something that death can touch and take away from us.

A sudden knock to the door pulled me awag from my darkest thoughts.
"Hello Carter?" spoke a familiar voice.
"yeah I'm here" I quietly spoke while staring at Niall's motion less body.
Maura poked her head through the door. Taking in the sight of her injured son.
"Oh my.." she weeped.
Rushing to Niall's side.
Franticly searching her eyes all over his body, watching his eyes for any sign for life. Confused to why her baby boy was in this state, when he should have been home all unpacked, waking up to the smell of London's miserable weather. Instead he's here in this cleansed hospital room.

"darling are you alright?"
"Darling?" Maura gently shook my body.
"I'm sorry what?" I asked confused.
"I asked how are you."
"I'm fine I think, I mean I'm coping but he's not." my eyes slowly lowered to my feet.
Maura walked over to me and lifting my head slightly to look at her. As I looked into her eyes, she quickly pulled me in to a tight hug.
"If anyone knew that he would be okay it would be us two, and I can reassure he is going to come back from this. I Promise."
" I know. But you shouldn't make promises you can't keep" I sighed.
"oh darling." she huffed.

My stomach turned quickly, making me dash to the toilet. As I poured my stomach out into the small hospital toilet Maura held my hair back out of my face. Niall should be doing this instead of his mother, he should be helping me.
Right then and there that's when I broke down, that's when I realised how hard this was going to be.
"Maura there's something i need to tell you." I sulked.
"Of course darling, what is it?" she smiled sweetly.
"When Niall was coming home I found out some news that I was going to surprise him with. I'm uh.." I stuttered
"Yes?" she questioned.
I sighed and looked up to her with a nervous smile.
"I'm Pregnant"

When I darted my eyes away from hers I could hear the slight gasp come from her chapped lips. I waited for the yelling of how stupid we were for not using protection. But instead she laughed.

"Darling this is amazing news. Oh wow!" she said excitedly to me.
"I mean your not angry or upset at us?" I asked questioningly.
"Why would I be this is fantasic news!"

Maura and I sat on the tiled floor in the hospital toilet exchanging words about the pregnancy. She kept reminding me that Niall was going to make it, that this won't be hard and that she will be here for me and the little one coming on the way in a couple of months.
But know one new what the future would bring. All I now is that all we can do is hope. Hope for the best at least.
